Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Your life total is at least 5. You have a white nonartifact permanent card in hand with mana cost {W}. You control a nontoken nonartifact white permanent with mana cost {W} that shares a card type with the card in hand.
Steps
Cast the white permanent card in your hand by paying 2 life. Defiler of Faith and Aetherflux Reservoir triggers. Resolve the Defiler of Faith trigger, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token. Resolve the Aetherflux Reservoir trigger, causing you to gain 1 life for each spell you've cast before it this turn. The white permanent enters the battlefield, triggering Cloudstone Curio, returning another nontoken nonartifact white permanent with mana cost {W} from the battlefield to your hand. Repeat. Once you have infinite life, you may activate Aetherflux Reservoir infinite times to deal infinite damage to any target(s).
